1. If a natural number m can be expressed as n², where n is also a natural number, then m is a square number.2. All square numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 at unit’s place.All numbers have numbers from 0 to 9 at their unit place and the number at the unit place of square of that number behaves as per the number at unit place in the original number. Following is the illustration of this property:
0²=0 0 is the number at unit’s place1²=1 1 is the number at unit’s place2²=4 4 is the number at unit’s place3²=9 9 is the number at unit’s place4²=16 6 is the number at unit’s place5²=25 5 is the number at unit’s place6²=36 6 is the number at unit’s place7²=49 9 is the number at unit’s place8²=64 4 is the number at unit’s place9²=81 1 is the number at unit’s place
3. Square numbers can only have even number of zeros at the end.4. Square root is the inverse operation of square.5. There are two integral square roots of a perfect square number.
Positive square root of a number is denoted by the symbol
For example, 3² = 9 gives 9 = 3
Exercise 1
1. What will be the unit digit of the squares of the following numbers?(i) 81
Answer: As 1² ends up having 1 as the digit at unit’s place so 81² will have 1 at unit’s place.
(ii) 272
Asnwer: 2²=4So, 272² will have 4 at unit’s place
(iii) 799
Answer: 9²=81So, 799 will have 1 at unit’s place

2. The following numbers are obviously not perfect squares. Give reason.(i) 1057 (ii) 23453 (iii) 7928 (iv) 222222 (v) 64000 (vi) 89722 (vii) 222000 (viii) 505050
Answer: (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (vi) don’t have any of the 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9 at unit’s place, so they are not perfect squares.
(v), (vii) and (viii) don’t have even number of zeroes at the end so they are not perfect squares.
3. The squares of which of the following would be odd numbers?(i) 431 (ii) 2826 (iii) 7779 (iv) 82004
Answer: (i) and (iii) will have odd numbers as their square, because an odd number multiplied by another odd number always results in an odd number.

1001² = 1002001100001² = 1 0000 2 0000 110000001² = 100000020000001
Start with 1 followed as many zeroes as there are between the first and the last one, followed by two again followed by as many zeroes and end with 1.
5. Observe the following pattern and supply the missing numbers.11² = 1 2 1101² = 1 0 2 0 110101² = 1020302011010101² = 1020304030201101010101² =102030405040201
Start with 1 followed by a zero and go up to as many number as there are number of 1s given, follow the same pattern in reverse order.6. Using the given pattern, find the missing numbers.1² + 2² + 2² = 3²2² + 3² + 6² = 7²3² + 4² + 12² = 13²4² + 5² + 20²= 21²5² + 6²+ 30² = 31²6² + 7² + 42² = 43²
If the square of a number is added with square of its prime factors we get square of a number which is 1 more than the original number.
7. Without adding, find the sum.(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
Answer: 4²231 ==+9²3531 ==++16²47531 ==+++25²597531 ==++++
In other words this is a way of finding the sum of n odd numbers starting from 1. Sum of n odd numbers starting from 1 = n²
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + I1 + 13 + 15 + 17 +19
Answer: There are 10 odd numbers in the given equationSo, sum =10²=100

As you know 49=7²So, 7² can be expressed as follows:1+3+5+7+9+11+13
(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.
11²=1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21
9. How many numbers lie between squares of the following numbers?(i) 12 and 13
Answer: 12²=14413²=169
Now, 169-144=25So, there are 25-1=24 numbers lying between 12² and 13²
(ii) 25 and 26
Answer: 25²=62526²=676Now, 676-625=51So, there are 51-1=50 numbers lying between 25² and 26²
(iii) 99 and 100
Answer: 99²=9801100²=10000Now, 10000-9801=199So, there are 199-1=198 numbers lying between 99² and 100²
Exercise 2
1. Find the square of the following numbers.(i) 32
Answer: 32²=32× 32= 1024
But above method can be tough to calculate. It is easier to calculate such values by using algebraic identities.
So, 32²=(30+2) ²Using (a+b) ² = a²+b²+2abWe get (30+2) ²= 30²+2²+2× 30× 2=900+4+120=1024

Answer: As we know 2m, m²+1 and m²-1 form a Pythagorean triplet for any number, m>1.
Let us assume 2m=6Then m=3⇒ m²+1=3²+1=10⇒ m²-1=3²-1=8
Test: 6²+8²=36+64=100=10²Hence, the triplet is 6, 8, and 10

Test: 14²+48²=196+1304=2500=50²
Hence, the triplet is 14, 48, and 50
(iii) 16
Answer: Let us assume 2m=16, then m=8So, m²+1=8²+1=65And, m²-1=8²-1=63
Test: 16²+63²=256+3969=4225=65²
Hence, the triplet is 16, 63, and 65

Exercise 3
1. What could be the possible ‘one’s’ digits of the square root of each of the following numbers?(i) 9801
Answer: Since 1² and 9² give 1 at unit’s place, so these are the possible values of unit digit of the square root.
(ii) 99856
Answer: 4²=16 and 6²=36, hence, 4 and 6 are possible
